This hand-knotted wool Zeki Muren distressed Turkish Sivas rug is a vibrant tableau of geometric elegance and artistic ingenuity, woven with a deep appreciation for Midcentury Modern design. Inspired by the legendary Turkish singer, composer, and designer Zeki Muren, this piece seamlessly blends traditional Anatolian weaving techniques with bold, architectural motifs.

The result is a harmonious fusion of structure and fluidity, where age-old craftsmanship meets a contemporary aesthetic.

The interplay of color in this masterpiece evokes a sense of balance and warmth, with hues of verdant green, sunlit gold, terra cotta, and soft slate blue nestled within a neutral beige backdrop. Each shade appears softened by time, its once-vivid tones now gently muted, lending an air of vintage charm and nostalgic refinement.

The meticulous placement of these elements reflects both artistic precision and a natural, organic movement.

Woven with locally sourced wool and showcasing the celebrated Sivas craftsmanship, this Turkish rug possesses a rich texture that tells a story of tradition, artistry, and cultural expression.
